A NOVEL CASE FOR THE
ATTORNEY GENERAL.

A legal point without precedent has
been referred TO Attorney General
Badford Of Kansas for IN opinion, and
he is at . loss % to what construction
to place uponit. In September, 1884,
. piece Of school land in Meade county
was sold under the law applying to
school lands to IN actual settler named
Chas. Brown, the proof upon which he
secured the land, being that he had
made lasting and valuable improve
ments upon it. A communication re-
ceived BY the Attorney General to-day
seeking to set aside the sale Is invalid
null and void, sets forth that the only
improvement Brown has made upon the
land IL fence with window in il. If
Brown slept on the inside Of the fence

year it Is claimed he is entitled to hold

The Habit of Reading Fast.

1t is plain that the knack of reading
very fast ought to be more cultivated.
It should be more encouraged in
schools. Aloud, for the benefit of 9TH
ers, the child should be taught to read
as slowly as the intelligence of the par
ticular audience in view may seem to
require; but silently, and for his own
benefit, he should learn to read like

Selves" and whoever could prove, by
giving an accurate account of the mat
ter some time afterward, that he had
read thoroughly, and still had come out
ahead, should be Gas the boys say s'the
best fellow" Again l notice that
some people have to read any item or
article in paper ''clear through" to
see whether it is anything they want to
read; and only to find, generally, that
it isn't. One should learn to find out
by the ear marks in the twinkling of an
eye. In doubtful cases this can COM
monty be tested by the end better than
the beginning. Of course there are
many cases not in the least doubtful,
where the heading, or the first sentence

earthly interest to any other human in

might have happened everywhere, as It
happened in the Russian steppes, that
in the vegetable struggle for existence,

From Gettysburg Letter.l
Paul II. Rives, . private with one
arm, belonging to the ed North Car

to see the place at which he had lost
his arm. ]. F. Jones, Of the 18th

had his left cheek bone torn away by =

to where he had lain among the rocks

Future of Wool and Manufac.
turing.

From the Journal Of Fabrics.1
The wool-growers Of Ohio and fur
Their west are very we'll satisfied with
the interstate commerce law, in 80 far
as it protects them from undue compe-
tition from California and other ex-
treme western points, and enables them
to realize more effectively the protec-
ton afforded by the tariff. From
this point Of view, the advance in the
prices o. the new clip at the interior
may be no meaningless movement,
though the bad state Of the clothing
WOODEN trade would naturally operate
for some time, at least, as q neutral
izer.
Another consideration that should
not be overlooked is that, if the re-
moter woods are barred out from east
ern markets by high rates Of freight,
that fact will tend to the development
of the wooden manufacturing industry
in those sections. IF they can not sell
their wool they must manufacture it.
There is no question but that the for
mer tendency toward increased cheap
ness of freights to remote points ia
voured the growth of large manufac-
turing centers, and that the change
will tend toward diffusion.

Etymology Of Coins.

D8IUcI, W tuC CACuSuSS "a "eSin3 40
one of the Oldest of human institutions,
and many of the terms connected with
it go back to early times for their orig
in. Pecuniary comes from ''pecus,"
and dates from the ages when cattle
were the chief wealth and values were
reckoned by the numbers Of the herd.
The word money is from moneta, be-
cause in Rome coins were first regular
ly struck in the temple Of Juno Mon
eta, which again was derived from mon
ere, to warn, because it was built on
the spot where Manllus heard the
Gauls approaching to the attack Of the
city. "Coin" is probably from the
Latin cuneus, die or stamp. Many
coins are merely so called from their
weight, as, for instance, the British
pound, the French livre, Italian Ira;
others from the metal, as the 'aureus;"
the 'rupee' from the Sanskrit ''ru-
pya," silver; others from the design, as
the angel, the testoon, from teste or
tete, head, others from the head Of the
State, as the sovereign, crown; others
from the proper name of the monarch,
such as the daric, from Darius, the
philip, louis dor, or the napoleon. The
dollar or thaler is short for the Joach-
imsthaler, or money of the Joachims
Valley, in Bohemia, where these coins
were struck in the sixteenth century.
Guineas were first called after the coun-
try from which the gold was obtained,
and the franc is an abbreviation for
the inscription, Francorum Rex. The
"sou'' is from the Latin salidus. The
word shilling appears to be derived
from a root signifying to divide; and in
several cases the name indicates the
name indicates the fraction Of some
larger coin, as the denarius, half-penny
farthing, cent and mill. The pound
was originally not coin, but a weight,
and comes from the Latin pondus. The
British pound originally was a pound
of silver, which was divided into 240
pennies. The origin of the word PEN
ny is unknown. Some have derived it
from bendo, to weight, but this does
not seem very satisfactory. The word
Sterling" is said to 60 back to the
Conquest, but the derivation has been
much disputed. Some have supposed
that it was at first attributed to the
coins struck at Sterling, but for this
there is not the slightest evidence; that
the name was derived from coins having
q star on the diverse, but no coins
which could have given rise to such a
name are unknown. The most prob.
able suggestion is that it has reference
to the Easterling or North German
merchants.
